i think in my personal experience, guys say hey after sex because they want to make sure i am still a speaking, thinking human and not an actually lifeless starfish (despite what the previous 3 minutes may have indicated)

It’s really amazing. It’s especially frustrating to consider the fact that This American Life gets constant criticism for the vocal fry that their female contributors exhibit, but IRA GLASS—who has like a textbook example of vocal fry—never gets criticized for it.

What a coincidence! It just so happens that there’s virtually always something objectionable about the voices of women who speak up in public. I’m sure it has nothing to do with internalized sexism. Just like how women are criticized for every vocal trait imaginable—saying “like” too much, upspeak, vocal fry—while men…

This would’ve been an excellent opportunity to say, you know, “Whether you’re a boy or you’re a girl, both of you, my job will be to make sure it’s equally an option for both of you.

Is that sign “No Justice No Peace” being used to protest the DNC, or being held in support of BLM? Because if it’s the former... that seems really, really tone deaf, white Bernie supporters.

It’s amazing. I look like a psycho when I watch it. There’s a lot of clapping my hands together and yelling “suck it, assholes!” She does not pull her punches.

You SHOULD feel guilty. Get on that shit. It’s worth it. Even if you have to give up something else to make the time!!!

This makes me feel guilty for not watching her show. She’s the best.

But when applied in reality, it’s only white guys that can effectively do this because an audience is more inclined to listen to them whatever they say.

The “I’ve decided to live as a werewolf” story arc is one of the most wonderful things to ever happen in any sitcom.

By this afternoon, I overhear that 15 women have removed their IUDs together in a yurt.

Two things:

Word. I mean - announce if you want to. But no one HAS to. Plus - you just never know what will happen with a pregnancy (I have had friends lose babies at 17, 18 weeks) and you may not feel like discussing it with your sister’s neighbor’s Aunt Betty.

I love her take on this.

Good for her - she’s hilarious and definitely too good for the current iteration of TDS.

Completely agreed. It almost feels like foreshadowing. When Obama said he believed the American people knew better (in so many words) than to vote for him, that was my Rains of Castamere playing at the Red Wedding moment.

I hadn’t seen this comment from Fisher before:

That moment when your eyes jump from “Whales” to “Dildos” (and disregard all the words in the middle)
